Eddy, this is so creative! You build love and beauty and intertwine it with the periods of darkness that is a part of life. Knowing it takes both to appreciate all that life has to offer is what helps us to cope, appreciate and shine in the end.

Wonderful piece my friend!

Eddy, you are right when you say that to appreciate happiness we should have felt sadness. Creativity at its best.

I love how you built this one with the blank canvas and then adding on the colors. All of the sentiments and pictures are just perfect. V+++

Wishing you a Friday canvas filled with many colors,

You always amaze us with your beautiful words Eddy but really this one is exceptional. To start with a blank, white canvas and paint it full of beauty in words and colors....then compare our lives to that blank canvas and on to the light and dark! Beautiful and creative.

Voted everything button but funny!

I adore this hub, Eddy! Beautifully done!

I love your "blank canvas" in your poem and in the image. It's indeed how each of us start a new hub or any new project. From nothing we can add colours, textures, words, life, etc.

I love the way you develop your poem at the same time as the visual everything in colours and images.... and you finish with a darker, black and white version of the same project with a layer of texture.... and indeed it's life with its bright sides and darker sides! Let's hope that the bright side wins most of the time!

Your hub is a metaphor for any creation and for life itself!

Thanks for sharing!

Have a fantastic weekend!

"To appreciate happiness fully we must have felt sadness..." absolutely....this was amazing, Eddy. As your works are. I am not surprised when I come here..I know I will find a collection of thoughts that will cause me to feel.

Very inspirational! I think we should look at each new day as a fresh, blank canvas.

MartieCoetser 3 years ago from South Africa

Eddy, what a lovely poem to help us see the brightness in every day. Sadly, we have to go through deep waters before we eventually recognize the reasons to be happy and peaceful even while we feel we are lost in the darkness of depression. Excellent!

Dear Eddy,

This is exceptional! What a creative idea you have here to start with the blank canvas and fill it with life, just as our lives indeed! You are truly gifted beyond measure and we are all blessed to read and visually enjoy your gifts here in HP Town!

The warm days of summer and the cold days of winter are a balance. We must see the beauty in each in order to appreciate what life holds for us. Well done, in teaching appreciation for all that we encounter.
